p. nivalis and his 

 cousin P. lapponicus 

 apologized for appear- 

 ing in unseasonable cos- 

 tume, explaining that 

 they had left in such a 

 hurry, owing to an un- 

 expected change in the 

 weather, that they had 

 really not had time to 

 change their dress. 

 They left pleasant 

 words for Mr. Brews- 

 ter, in recognition of 

 his papers on the Birds 

 of Arizona, and wished 

 us to thank Mr. Purdie 

 for his kind assistance 

 __ in finishing the second 

 _:^ volume of "New Eng- 

 land Bird-Life." They 

 expected to be about 

 all winter and would 

 see us agfain later. 



A rosy little fellow, ^^. 

 linaria^ was kind enough 

 to assure us personally that 

 he had forgotten all about 

 the trouble we made in his 

 family in i860, when we 

 visited him in Labrador, 

 and afterward spoke so 

 shabbily of his appearance. 

 His brother exilipes, he 

 added, had settled in Si- 

 beria, where at last ac- 

 counts he was doing as 

 well as could be expected.
